In the meantime here is an article to consider while we wait: Social policy amid strained resources Quote An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't. Anatole France
maplesyrup Posted March 23, 2004 Author Report Posted March 23, 2004 Lots of action for the West, sale of Petro Canada, assistance to cattle industry. Maybe Liberals will pick up seats in Alberta after all. No 'fast and loose' spending: Goodale Quote An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know.

maplesyrup Posted March 23, 2004 Author Report Posted March 23, 2004 It is very interesting to note no tax deductions. Maybe Liberals feel more threatened from the left. Strange.

Which party s priority is to reduce debt? Quote An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know.

maplesyrup Posted March 24, 2004 Author Report Posted March 24, 2004 In case there were any doubts, the budget makes it rather clear the Liberals' biggest worry isn't Stephen Harper and the newly minted Conservative party -- it's Jack Layton and the NDP. Ethical vow Kinda confirms my hunch, Martin is lookin over, surprise, surprise, not his right shoulder, but his left.
